Kissaluvs Terry Wipes
Safe Mama had a recent post on what’s in disposable baby wipes. It was eye-opening to say the least. We switched to reusable wipes but mainly to lessen our waste stream, the question “what’s in your wipes?” hadn’t crossed our minds.
Anyhoo, thank you Safe Mama for doing the leg work on this. So if you are using disposable wipes, definitely check out Safe Mama’s review.
If you are ready to switch away from disposable wipes, it really isn’t that challenging. You can make your own wipes or pick up some terry wipes at the shop. We have unbleached, undyed terry wipes by Kissaluvs at Milagros.
How do you use them? Either use with warm water right before using them or infuse them beforehand with a homemade wipe mix. Once they are used, just wash’em and use them again. Here is the homemade wipe mix that we use:
- 2 or 3 drops of tea tree oil
- 1 tablespoon of Dr. Bronner s soap
- 3 cups of distilled water (be sure to use distilled water, not tap water)
Just dampen the wipes in the mixture and store in an air tight container. We use an old plastic wipes bin left over from the disposable days. Easy peasy. Enjoy!
